princejude: I will advice you to use crystal, forget about the RC. If you can't get 4MHz(or less) crystal then change your chip to Pic16f84a or any that can accept high crystal value.

princejude: ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/31002a.pdf‎

Study the above microchip's OSCILLATOR manual.
Read section 2.4 : "External RC Oscillator"

and don't forget to include the reset circuit at "MCLR" pin.
that is, connect 10k resistor from Pin 4(MCLR) to VCC
and 10uF capacitor from Pin4(MCLR) to GND.


But why do you use PIC16F84A-04/P ? That chip is too low and expensive.

princejude: what is "data execution prevention" is preventing it? what antivirus are u using ? Don't u think dat its ur antivirus dat is preventing the installation.? Disable ur antivirus and firewall then. install the pickit3 software again.

Good Boi: uninstall, not deactivate, your antivirus and reinstall pellesc c

Good Boi: uninstall, not deactivate, your antivirus and reinstall pellesc c

Good Boi: do u mean when u try to execute a c program?

Good Boi: I download from here
http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/
for windows 32-bit. Check if u download the right one for you Windows (32 or 64).

Good Boi: I've downloaded some of the other IDEs and believe me Visual studio is the best. Forget all this sentiments, if you want productivity get VS. The reason I will use mingw compiler is because of its more C++11 features and compatibility with open source (free) softwares but hey it's still not fully implemented in any compiler either. If you want it feature rich, easy and free from unnecessary bugs VS is the way. Get the free VS 2012 express for desktop. You will keep coming back to it. I will advise you to also download Pelles C because it has nice C language documentation and it's updated to the latest standard C11 but let VS be your main.

ooman: mingw is all same, gcc is from free software foundation in usa, neatbeans is both a compiler and ide for many langs, but specifically for java, but fortran, c/c++,php,groovy,apache and even python can be coded and compiled with it. dev c++ is diff from v. studio, who know v. studio? just google dev c++ and you ll download for free, but your best bet is netbeans with cygwin or mingw addons.

princejude: Check my post b4 your post where u said u bought visual studio 2008 from Lagos

princejude: Always save flex_lcd.c in your project folder. If u edit the lcd connection, save it. Whether u save it b4 or after u compile it will work.

ooman: gcc migwin or cygwin added to netbeans is the best compiler and editor in history. dev c++ is also good.

princejude: Then look for Visual Studio 2010 or 2008. The file is up to 4G, buy the CD or ask some of your friend around. If you can get it, it has .net Framework.

princejude: OR you can use this one

http://www.4shared.com/zip/XDfVLAaW/PICkit3_0203_Setup.html

I uploaded this one now from my PC.

There are two setup files:

The first one with dot Net Framework (You can install this if you don't have dot Net in your PC)
The second one is without dot Net Framework (This can only work if you have installed dot Net)

princejude: Have you installed dot Net framework in your PC ?
Do you have visual studio installed in your PC ?

If you don't have any of that software in your system the pickit3 setup will not install.

You can download dot Net Framework here : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30653

Install it first then install the pickit3 setup

princejude: The software are included in the installation CD. Browse through the CD content, you will see the software named PICKIT3 setup. Install the pickit3 software. The software may require "dot Net Framework". If you have not installed .Net Framework on your PC, you can google and download the latest version from microsoft site. But if you have installed Visual Studio on your PC. the .Net frame work is already installed in your PC because it is part of the Visual Studio.

You can load your hex file from MPLAB(excluding PIC16F84 and other lower version of PICs). But before you can do that, you must have installed the PICKIT3 driver setup.

Tchalz: I am using mplab v8.88..MPLAB has hi-tech toolsuite in lite mode which is tha demo edition.Tha code above compiled but my problem is with the proteus simulation..I have .hex files which I g0t from my compiled code using Hi tech C and mpasmwin assembler
